Terrified ‘Tea Party Patriot’ realizes he could lose Obamacare if GOP wins in 2016

A conservative video blogger with over a million views on YouTube said this week that he would likely vote for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton because he was terrified that a Republican president would take away his affordable health insurance.

James Webb, a 51-year-old YouTube celebrity who devotes his “Hot Lead” channel to topics like his love of guns and ranting about gay men kissing on The Walking Dead, may have shocked his viewers on Monday when he revealed that he was torn over which party to vote for in the 2016 election.

“And I’m serious because I asked myself, ‘Which party has helped me out the most in the last, I don’t know, 15 years, 20?’ And it was the Democrat [SIC] Party,” Webb lamented. “If it wasn’t for Obama and that Obamacare, I would still be working.”

“With Obamacare, I got to retire at age 50 because if it wasn’t for Obamacare, I would have had to work until I was 65 and get on Medicare because health insurance is expensive when you’ve got medical problems,” he continued.

Webb said that he hoped to lose some weight and get in shape by taking advantage of a gym membership that was covered by his health insurance.

[Thinkingabout]

1. This is a reality some needs to think about.

2. The irony, it burns...the ignorance, it hurts.

[Cosmocat]

5. No, it doesn't

the ignorance is slop to these pigs.

Seriously.

[Surya Gayatri]

6. It burns and hurts NORMAL people! LOL!

3. Disappointing. You'd think that this "patriot" would at least have the strength of his convictions

But alas, it was not meant to be.

4. My SIL, a tea partiyer, gushed

and gushed to me about how much she loved Obamacare for fixing her teeth, her acne, and finally able to afford to get her bi-polar medication corrected. She feels lovely now but, gawd, her Obamarants for the first 5years were insufferable. Now I know what you mean, she says. But I just can't get over being disgusted by her, still having trouble deciding which party to vote for.

7. Good for him for doing the right thing even if it's out of self-interest.

Hopefully more people like him choose their wellbeing over their wicked bigotry.

8. had to inform my nephew

that his health scare with heart rhythm issues and ablation treatment now qualified him as having a pre-existing condition. Republicans would either want him to join an expensive high risk state plan or go without treatment if they win.

9. “If it wasn’t for Obama and that Obamacare, I would still be working.” < This is a negative to

their true believers. He is learning...

From his page on youtube:

Hot Lead retired 8 months ago

All my peeps are turning on me.

lol

If he wants to get in shape Hot Lead retired just needs to get around some of his peeps. They will exercise him.

Sounds like the type that will post more, so some can watch him evolve.

10. Someone's finall realised they've been voting against their own interests

all this time. UHC is a success wherever it is adopted. The Republicans will regret calling it Obamacare.

11. No. The Democrat Party did not help you. Mr. Webb.

There is no such party. It was the Democratic Party that has been helping you. Hopefully, now that you realize who is on your side, you can learn to call them by their actual name, rather than the childish "Democrat" garbage your own party has had you and your ilk spewing all these years.

15. Oh, who cares?

The truth is dawning, one wingnut at a time. Why quibble about names?

[Initech]

12. Typical republican hypocrisy.

Phase 1: "Give that, it's mine!"
Phase 2: "This sucks, take it back!"
Phase 3: "OMG, they might take it back! I might lose everything!"

[Boomer]

13. This story is over a year old

Time for some new material on this topic.

[gratuitous]

14. Bad news, Mr. Webb

It appears your brain may have gotten kick-started, and you've figured out a thing or two (such as who's really looking out for your interests). It might be a good idea to spread the word to your YouTube viewers that it's really been the Democrats all along who want government to work in your favor, rather than throwing up roadblocks.

What say?

16. Reality can be a gift.
